| | Posted: | | | | I bought myself a couple of weird DVDs. They are double sided, one side PAL, the other NTSC (otherwise both sides are the same).
Any ideas how to contribute this? You can only choose either PAL or NTSC, not both. | | | | Last edited: by Mark |

| | Posted: | | | | Assuming they are legitimate DVDs (I've never heard of this before), I'd choose whichever is the regular system for the locality in which they were released.
Certainly a strange situation. You see the odd title where an inappropriate system is used (the UK release of Sex and the City S1 is, or at least was originally, NTSC for example), but I've never seen a combo. | | | | Last edited: by Nadja |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with Nadja, both in his suggestion and the strangeness!
As a matter of interest what are the titles/localities? | | | Andy

| | Posted: | | | | I think it should be a PAL only profile, with a note that the disc has NTSC on the other side - I guess in the disc descriptions section.
This is not a boxset, it is single movie - and even if you set it up as a boxset, you still have to select PAL/NTSC in the master profile.
To me this is no different to a double sided disc with widescreen on one side and P&S on the other - we don't do boxsets for those, and I don't think we should for this. | | | Andy
